Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting, have been reading for a while.  My wife and I have been TTC since 2/2014.  We have had 7 IUI cycles, 1 cancelled due to too many follicles, 6 BFN, 2 fresh IVF cycles, 2 more BFN's.  3rd fresh IVF transfer was 7/17, now we are currently in the the TWW.  All IVF cycles have been fresh as there have never been enough "good" blasts on day 5 to freeze.  We switched doctors before this last IVF, as I was tired of hearing "I just don't understand why this isn't working."  We decided it was time to find someone who would find out why it's not working, and try something else.

    Oh, my bad! Everyone on this board is cool enough to get to ttc with science, which I find quite amazing. If not for science, most of us would not every get to try for a bio baby.
